Answer:

y = - 3x + 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that slope is a measure of the rate of change of a linear function.

Express the function in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

here m = - 3, thus

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (5, 2) into the partial function

2 = - 15 + c ⇒ c = 2 + 15 = 17

y = - 3x + 17 ← is the linear function

In cases like these, you simply have to multiply the choices you have for each step.

In fact, you can choose between 4 different crusts. For each of these crusts you can choose 4 different sauces. This means that there are $4\cdot 4 = 16$ choices at this point. In fact, if we call the crust options 1,2,3,4 and the sauce options A,B,C,D, the 16 possible combinations are
